Sugyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Yoshino, Japan.
Located on the slopes of Mount Yoshino, Sugyō-ji features traditional wooden architecture and extends across multiple terraced levels among cedar trees.
The temple, established by Buddhist monk Gien, became a center for mountain ascetic practices and spiritual training during the development of Japanese Buddhism.
Sugyō-ji functions as part of the En no Gyōja Reiseki Fudasho pilgrimage route, where practitioners engage in Buddhist and Shinto combined rituals.
Visitors can reach Sugyō-ji by taking a 10-minute walk from Yoshinoyama Station, with the temple maintaining regular hours from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
The temple participates in two distinct pilgrimage networks, including the Boke Yoke Niju-shi Jizōson Reijō, dedicated to the protection of travelers.
